R. DEVDAS J., (ORAL):

The problem of valuation and revaluation seems to be raising its ugly head again and again, inspite of several decisions. The petitioners in these writ petitions are medical students seeking revaluation of their answer papers. Prayers are also made to declare the "Amendment to Ordinance Governing Valuation of Answer Scripts of MBBS Course (RS-3 Scheme)" (hereinafter referred to as 'Ordinance 13.10.2020', for short) notified on 13.10.2020 as unconstitutional and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. Since common questions arise for decision making, with the consent of learned Counsels on both the sides, these writ petitions are heard together and disposed of by this common order.
ORDER
1. The writ petitions are allowed.
2. The "Amendment to Ordinance Governing Valuation of Answer Scripts of MBBS Course (RS- 3 Scheme)" notified on 13.10.2020, is hereby quashed and set aside.
